Court annuls Mumo Matemu appointment

By Isaiah Lucheli

Mumo matemu appointment as the Chairman of Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has been nullified by the High Court.

The ruling was made by a three-judge bench of Joel Ngugi, Mumbi Ngugi, and George Odunga.

In the ruling, the High Court stated that the Parliament and the Executive had overlooked integrity issues raised about Mumo while working at the Agricultural Finance Corporation as the legal officer.

Mumo was alleged to have been involved in impropriety issues.

The ruling by the three-judge bench stated that the High Court is out to protect and uphold the Constitution given that the people of Kenya didn’t include Chapter Six of the Constitution as a lofty impropriety.
